A grissinato bar cabinet with inlaid decors by Emanuale Rambaldi, Italy, 1930s

About the Item

An exceptional inlaid bar cabinet with grissinato details, designed and crafted as a unique piece by the talented Emanuele Rambaldi in Italy during the 1930s. Crafted from rich, lustrous walnut, this bar cabinet exudes an air of sophistication and timeless elegance. The grissinato motif, a design technique characterized by delicate, thin strips of wood meticulously applied to the surface, adds a remarkable tactile quality to the piece. These fine details create a striking contrast to the warm, natural tones of the walnut, giving the cabinet a sense of depth and character. One of the most captivating features of this cabinet is its inlaid allegoric panel, which pays homage to the arts, music, and table games of its era. Emanuele Rambaldi's skillful hand has beautifully rendered this allegory in a way that transports you to a bygone era of cultural and leisurely pursuits. The intricate inlay work captures the essence of these themes with exquisite precision, showcasing Rambaldi's deep appreciation for the arts. Measuring at 150x30cm and standing at a height of 134cm, this bar cabinet is a versatile and functional piece of furniture. Its compact size makes it suitable for various spaces within your home, whether it graces your living room, dining area, or study. The cabinet's dimensions are well-balanced, offering ample storage for spirits, glassware, and other bar essentials, while its slim profile ensures it remains unobtrusive. Intriguingly, concealed within its design, this cabinet boasts four discreetly hidden drawers on the upper side, adding an element of mystery and practicality to its already captivating presence. The bar cabinet has been carefully refinished, with utmost care taken to preserve its original patina, ensuring that it now stands in perfect vintage condition.

    By Giuseppe Anzani
    Located in Meda, MB
    This bar cabinet was produced in Italy, in the late 1930s and is a really unique and special piece. Its tremendous historical and artistic value is what makes this item a real piece of art, hard to find and one of a kind. Firstly, let's talk about its history. It was produced most likely in 1939 in Mariano Comense which is a small village near Milan by the artist Giuseppe Anzani. Anzani has been one of the greatest, if not the greatest wood crafter and inlaid maker. He started his career as an engraver when he was a little child and he won awards for his skills when he was only 16. Later on, he started also to master the art of wood inlay, becoming the most skilled inlayer of all times. His fame was so big that people from all over the world used to come to his little laboratory in the small and unknown village...
